I took my Grade 3 students for a spontaneous morning walk so they could see the full moon and sun in the sky at the same time and also the leaf-less tree branches against the rosy morning sky.
Loved this read this morning! Thanks! Falling leaves are a mystery here in the desert lol but OH the full moon! Yes why can't I get a good shot! I've been curious about haiku writing then I get caught up in the math! Love your work! Keep it up & God Bless_+
I already have several of your books and now, the idea of being able to hang up one or two (must limit myself) for all to see in our learning space is exciting.
And the child reading under the red maple tree….sigh.
The moon is still hard to photograph even with a telescope. The best advice I was given is to try during a half moon, because it’s the contrast between the bright moon and the dark sky that overwhelms your camera’s automatic features (unless you’re using a DSLR, but you can still get cooler features on a half moon anyway).
Try to focus on the terminator - the line between day and night on the moon. You can see mountains and craters there with just binoculars on a clear night!
Thanks, K.! And to be fair, I'm not drawing them exactly daily...I've been making two or three per day during my three studio days each week, then posting daily :)

I bet they enjoyed that! "Awe walk" is the best phrase I've heard for that kind of stroll.
What a great way to start a day of learning!
Yes they were calmer and happier I noticed too

My advice: don't count syllables, just write three lines. Short, long, short. Then you can worry about the math later, if you'd like!
I'll start with that! Thanks!
Great yet so simple advice.
Love this definition of haiku and yours. Thank you, Grant for making us stop look and see more.
Thanks Kathy!
Dear Grant,
Beautiful work as always!
I love that spider haiku!
"Two planets, one moon" indeed!
Thank you for sharing!
Love

I love the way you section the beginning, middle, and end of the story in separate areas that make the whole.
Thank you, Rachielle! Yes, satisfying to see it all come together as a single page, that's one of my favorite parts of making short comics.
Excellent. Thanks Grant.
These are a joy.
Thank you
Discovered the link to The Shop!
Oh-oh.

Ha, thanks Esther!
This is wonderful ❤️
Thank you, Sarah!

Ooh, good to know! We checked out a telescope from the public library, it was really cool to see the details of the moon up close.
Your writing & drawings are so wonderful! I especially enjoyed “the spider at daybreak” 🤗
Thank you Rose!
This is one of your most inspiring haiku posts for me as it delves into the mystery so close to us in nature, a theme I enjoy exploring.
Mysteries of nature, a subject of endless fascination, I agree! Thanks Thomas.
Wow, I'm impressed with all of these. And that you're making daily haiku comics!

Still impressive, Grant!
